Vormetric Introduces Cloud Partner Program

SAN JOSE, Calif., Dec. 12, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Vormetric, the leader in enterprise data security for physical, virtual and cloud environments, today announced the Vormetric Cloud Partner program. Created specifically to address the needs of service providers, the program enables partners to easily incorporate Vormetric Data Security into their offerings enabling strong differentiation for existing services and the creation of new, higher margin, value-added solutions. Included in the program are the Vormetric services, pricing and training for products that Cloud Service Providers, Hosting Providers, Managed Service Providers (MSPs), Managed Security Service Providers (MSSPs) require to quickly adopt, roll out and support enhanced offerings.

"We developed the program to ensure that our cloud partners can easily deliver the data security measures that organizations around the globe are demanding," said C. J. Radford, Vormetric's Vice President of Cloud. "Participants benefit by being able to quickly and confidently include best-of-breed data-centric security as an integral part of cloud offerings as well as more traditional hosted and managed services."

Vormetric's market leading Data Firewall™ includes encryption, key management, file level access controls for all users (including for privileged users), and security intelligence information. This fully integrated solution enables service providers to defend their own, and their customers', data from malware, advanced attacks and insider threats as well as enabling compliance with regulatory frameworks.

Vormetric (@Vormetric) is the industry leader in data security solutions that span physical, virtual and cloud environments. Data is the new currency and Vormetric helps over 1,200 customers, including 17 of the Fortune 25 and many of the world's most security conscious government organizations, meet compliance requirements and protect what matters — their sensitive data — from both internal and external threats. The company's scalable solution suite protects any file, any database and any application — anywhere it resides — with a high performance, market-leading data firewall that incorporates application transparent encryption, privileged user access controls, automation and security intelligence.

"Use cloud encryption to protect sensitive data for three scenarios: (1) data residency issues, (2) to provide exemption from data breach notification requirements and (3) to "digitally shred" sensitive cloud data at its end of life by deleting the encryption keys." wrote Brian Lowans Principal Research Analyst, Gartner, Incorporated et al. "Enterprises should only use solutions that allow them to manage their own keys when handling sensitive data. If keys are managed or available in the cloud, enterprises should require, as a minimum, the specification of their geographic location, and audited user and administrator access controls and segregation of duties."

Pete Nicoletti, Chief Information Security Officer, Virtustream, Inc.

"It can be challenging to get large enterprises to trust the cloud, so this partnership with Vormetric provides a significant security measure required to overcome that concern," said Pete Nicoletti, Chief Information Security Officer at Virtustream. "With Vormetric's solution, we now have an encryption and data access control option suitable for customers that are required to encrypt and control access to data to protect their critical IP "Crown Jewels" and PII as well as address compliance frameworks such as HIPAA. Adding this capability gives our enterprise clients absolute confidence when moving mission-critical data to the cloud as we encrypt data before the move, in production and in archive."

"QTS is committed to providing customers with the most comprehensive security and compliance services and solutions available," said Randall Poole, vice president product development at QTS. "Our partnership with Vormetric enables us to enhance these offerings and provide exceptional value to our customers."
